Wouldn't it be better to figure out what you need to achieve the temperature you want under max temp operational conditions? Getting the absolute biggest cooler you can and struggling to fit it seems like a waste of space/time/money/effort.
Also don't most thermostat setups allow *some* oil to circulate through the cooler? Seems like a lot of peeps with coolers have run into issues getting oil up to temp in the winter, I think it's a legit concern that would be affected by how overkill you choose to go.
All this begs the question, what max oil temperature is acceptable? For me, for my usage, with the oil I run, 275F is acceptable. So I already have the correct size oil cooler. And oil gets up to 190F after a short drive even just at low speeds in town. Yay!
